Neither Russia nor the European Union have plans to revive the South Stream project, Russia’s EU ambassador said in an interview with the Izvestia daily."I said (in previous interviews) that demands of Europe, the European Union in particular, for Russian energy supplies, gas among them, can objectively promote discussion of different projects, including the South Stream," Vladimir Chizhov said.
